Customing SC DMs using EXTERNAL data

Post by scrapedog »

I´m wondering if it would be possible to customize PMs using not just the available variables
but IMPORTED data. Like an external URL that is personalized etc?

Hi,

We shall try to add that feature, but at first you need to give more information about what you are asking for.
Can you please give 1 example ?

Please write in details like

What you want?
What is the purpose?
Where do you want?
A good example of DM using external data.

For example i would like to send someone to a site where i use URL QUERIES to personalize their experience.
Example:

Soundcloud Artist: Dj Example gets a PM with a link:
www.site.com/?name=dj%example

Or other queries ..

Another example would be to use personalized external information and references i.e
their social media profiles urls or other data points...
please tell me if this makes sense

You mean Url ? Yes, you can send users url via messaging/pm. I assume you need to send urls to users.The way you said.
You can send soundcloud urls, any url you want. See image

Let me know if this is not your answer.

You want dynamic? Something like Redirector i guess.

Somthing like lm.facebook.com ? t.umblr.com ? or google.com/gwt/n?u==http://rootjazz.com ? Like these ?
If yes, you can also send that but i am not sure you will be able to redirect them or not.
Reported it to martin. He will look in to and get back to you as soon as possible.

Yes, that is actually possible, is an undocumented feature.

You can specify to DM from file, then format your file as

profile_url,data1,data2,data3,data4,data5,data6,...,dataN

Then you access the variables via tokens
#input_1#
#input_2#
etc

where
#input_1# maps to data1
#input_2# maps to data2
etc
